Today is the start of the Boise Open Studio Collective Organization’s annual open studio tour weekend. Many artists will have their studio open this evening, as well as Saturday and Sunday. We have 60 artists participating this year!

My studio will be open tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

In the unfamiliar neighborhood, I pulled up in front of the cute, old painted brick house. A variety of plants invaded the front yard as a buddha statue sat calmly on the small front porch, waiting to welcome visitors. As I stepped through the front door, I was faced with a roomful of artwork from floor to ceiling. I had just entered the realm of local artist, JanyRae Seda.

I could see the carpet of my studio floor. Every scrap was put in its place. Artwork covered the walls. A vase held backyard flowers. A plate held dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I was ready for open studio weekend!

This past weekend the Boise Open Studio Collective Organization had a flash show at Surel’s Place. Surel’s Place is an artist-in-residence live/work space. In between artist residencies, they will have short weekend exhibitions in the space.

It’s here! The Boise Open Studio Collective Organization’s big open studio weekend starts today. Some artists will have their studios open today from 4-7 p.m. The event continues through the weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Check out the map for each artist’s opening days/times.
